Background and approach

Conversations can cover relationships, family strain, grief, intimacy worries, and day-to-day coping skills. Her work combines body-focused awareness with talk therapy. That means paying attention to physical sensations as well as thoughts and feelings.

Clients often learn simple grounding or breathing practices to use between sessions. She also uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches. Those methods help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and break problems into manageable steps.

Mindfulness techniques are added to build present-moment calm and self-awareness. Lizzett keeps the pace steady and practical. She helps people name what matters most, set realistic next steps, and track small changes.

The aim is to move toward a life that feels more manageable and aligned with personal values.

Somatic-informed approaches and online care

Somatic Therapy emphasizes awareness of bodily sensations and how they relate to emotions. It often includes grounding, breath awareness, and noticing posture to calm the nervous system and help with anxiety, trauma responses, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. It helps people feel heard, clarify values, and build motivation through a nonjudgmental, supportive stance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to find practical, structured ways to reduce worry and improve mood; it suits people who want clear tools to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, comfort level, and daily life. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan can shift when needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or mobility limits. They also allow people to practice grounding and coping skills in the spaces where they live, then bring questions back to sessions for real-time support.
